Clean, well appointed cottage with lots of space and a lovely garden

We've stayed on Skye a few times now and Shanuri is the nicest cottage we have stayed in. Excellently appointed, spacious accommodation in a quiet setting. The garden was fabulous and the dogs loved running around in it. The welcome pack and wine were a nice touch and we had a very comfortable stay. I'd definitely go back next time we visit the island!

A cozy place to start and finish each adventure-filled day!

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay. The views were engaging from every window, and the situation in Broadford was ideal for exploring Skye. The cottage was comfortable, especially the beds! However, you might want to be sure to bring books, games, and devices to entertain everyone when the weather is uncooperative. Elsa-Lou and her family were warm and friendly hosts, and we would definitely visit again.

Wonderful Farm Cottage in Broadford on Beautiful Isle of Skye!

My family of three recently stayed in this beautiful Stone Croft Cottage on the Isle of Skye, and we could not have been happier with the cottage or our dealings with the owner; Else-Lou. The cottage though originally from the mid 1800's; was totally updated and clean and beautiful and had plenty of space for the three of us to hang out. It was located in Broadford, almost as soon as you get on the island from the mainland and it was close and convenient to everything on the island. It is situated on a farm with lovely views out both the front and the back of the cottage of the farm and the mountains and water beyond. My favorite view was from the large Kitchen window looking at both mountains and water. The cottage had all the modern conveniences you could want or need, with three large bedroom to choose from plus one very large bathroom with both tub and shower. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed and we enjoyed cooking in one of our two nights there, eating in every morning. The fireplace in the sitting room had firewood and kindling for us and that was an extra treat. The washer and dryer was a dream as we had been away from home for a week and a half at that point of our vacation. Else-Lou was so accommodating and was very easy to work with - both before the stay and during. Any questions I had she answered promptly and efficiently by email before our trip, and then she greeted us upon our arrival and was so gracious and helpful in planning what we could do & see while on the island. We will definitely be back to this lovely cottage and this beautiful part of Scotland. We highly recommend this cottage to families, couples, girl's night out, etc.
